About the battle between Chinese and Japanese destroyers, it was soon reported to Wang Guorui. ⊥, and there was also a telegram from Captain Hao of the Navy, which was successfully delivered to Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui looked at the telegram, and then couldn't help talking.

"A century-old navy is not so easy to build. With the same number of sailors, we are probably no match for the Japanese army! This time the confrontation between individual destroyers is obviously not their match. Their artillery fire rate Much faster than us. This is not because our artillery is inferior to them, but our navy sailors are obviously inferior to them in psychological quality!" Wang Guorui said with a sigh.

Originally, Wang Guorui thought that his navy was not bad, and already possessed one of the best tonnages in the world, and he was already an excellent navy in the world. But the reality told him that Taiwan's navy was still a long way from the world's first-class navy, and it was obviously not enough to be called a world-class navy. Under the same quantity and scale, it is obviously not an opponent of the Japanese army. After being hit by a cannonball, they all became a lot more flustered, and then their combat efficiency also decreased in all arms. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not as good as the Japanese army, and their ability to withstand pressure is obviously insufficient.

"My lord, telegram, all the fleets of the navy have called for battle, hoping to have a decisive battle with the Japanese pirate navy! They all heard that there was a destroyer fighting the Japanese this time, and sunk an enemy destroyer, so they also They all hope to make meritorious service. They have requested to go to war one after another, and have a decisive battle at sea with the Japanese pirates, and then seize the dominance of the Bohai Sea, so that I can take advantage of the shortcomings of the Japanese pirates and the supply line of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. It is the turtle in our urn, so we don't have to worry too much at all. So the navy hopes to be able to fight and effectively support us to confront the various armies head-on."

"The navy is no longer willing to do this kind of thing to **** the army's logistics supplies. They all hope to take the initiative to fight, and then they can gain military exploits."

Wang Guorui immediately said angrily: "Playing the piano randomly, are they the opponents of the Japanese?"

This time, Wang Guorui could see that Taiwan's navy had a few elements in it. Under the same number, it is difficult to truly and fairly defeat the Japanese Navy. Wang Guorui's navy is obviously immature, and its ability to withstand pressure is obviously not as good as that of the Japanese navy, and it is even worse than that of the British navy. Taiwan's navy has excellent warships, but it is obviously not as good as the navy of the United Kingdom and other countries in terms of the quality of naval soldiers. This is for sure. If you rashly engage in a decisive sea battle with the Japanese now, the price you will pay must be very high.

Wang Guorui didn't think he would lose, but he knew that if he did so, the loss would definitely be disastrous. If this is done, the loss must be several times that of the Japanese. Because the combat experience of the Taiwan Navy is too lacking. Never experienced a war at all. If you play like this, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, so Wang Guorui doesn't want to do this loss-making business.

However, Hu Wei immediately said: "Master Wang, my opinion is to let the navy go! Since they want to take the initiative to fight the Japanese, we still have to let them do it. Anyway, we have so many warships, losing The possibility of this is very low, I guess it is less than 10%. What we need to look at is the question of how much to pay, not too many complicated things. So, Mr. Wang, why not worry? ?Our battleships are more than five times that of the Japanese pirates. And we also have the trump card of the sword-class battleship, and even the submarine, which can be attacked secretly. The probability of our victory is as high as 90%. I also understand the navy, the navy There is no way to be opportunistic. He is not like the army, he has many tactics or conspiracies. But the navy does not have it. The navy is purely head-to-head combat. So we are not afraid of falling into the conspiracy of Japanese pirates, so we can fight them directly. , what we consider is how much price will be paid, and how many people will be lost.”

But Wang Guorui said: "But, I'm afraid the loss will be too great. If we fight this time, even if we don't lose, the loss will definitely be huge."

But this time Zheng Hong said: "Husband, didn't you also say that? If you haven't experienced the flames of war, it is impossible to become a powerful army. Our Army. It is the prestige gained by stepping on the heads of the Japanese, and Defeated the Dutch and the Spaniards, both of which are third-rate powers in Europe. We are now able to achieve such a status, which is also brought by the Army, and the Army has contributed a lot. And the Army has combat experience, But the navy has no experience in this kind of combat. The navy has always fought small battles. It has never really conducted large-scale combat. Even various generals have no experience in large-scale combat, so the actual combat effectiveness of the navy is very low. It is a problem. Especially the ability to resist pressure. Our political department has passed the test, and the navy’s ability to resist pressure is the worst among all arms. That is because they have not experienced a real war, so they have not experienced blood and rain at all. The wind experience naturally cannot resist too much pressure."

"So, letting the navy go to large-scale battles this time is a test for the navy. If we don't let them go to war, we can only cultivate a group of veterans who can't fight at all. The navy every year It has eaten up almost half of our military expenditure, and the number of people is only one-fifth of the entire army, but it has eaten up half of our military expenditure. If we can't come up with effective results, there will definitely be a lot of soldiers Some people have opinions. So this battle, it is time to show their value. If they can't defeat the enemy, how can we continue to give them funding?"

Next, everyone also explained their thoughts on wanting the navy to go to war, that is, hoping that the navy can really fight once, not this kind of small fight. It is impossible to be able to fight at this level of small fights, and it is impossible to train a powerful navy. If an army has not experienced a major war, it is impossible to be truly powerful and become a powerful army. An invincible army. The navy can't do this yet, they have no experience in war, and their ability to withstand pressure is very poor.

Wang Guorui immediately asked Qiu Baoren, Chief of Staff of the Navy: "Qiu Baoren, can you guarantee victory this time?"

"Master Wang, I can guarantee victory this time, but I don't know how much I will lose. But I believe that no matter how much you lose, it is worth it. Only after going through this battle can the navy become a truly powerful army. It’s not like in the past, it’s not useful. Only by becoming a truly powerful army can we truly realize our dream of running across the world. If we don’t even dare to fight a Japanese pirate navy, how can we In the future, we will face more countries? Especially the British. If we can’t even beat the Japanese pirates, how can we compete with the British for the position of maritime supremacy? Moreover, we have not been able to avenge the shame of the Sino-Japanese War. We can’t go on like this? Therefore, we must fight, and we must bear the shame of the Sino-Japanese War.”

Qiu Baoren obviously also hopes to continue to fight, and then defeat the Japanese navy, so as to avoid the shame of the Sino-Japanese War. No matter how much you pay this time, it will be a decisive battle at sea, and then try to defeat the Japanese navy. Only in this way can it be regarded as a satisfactory result, which represents that the Chinese navy has truly entered the international stage. Otherwise, they are all a navy with a powerful fleet but no matching strength, just an existing navy.

"Okay, since everyone is going to invite the battle, this time we will immediately dispatch all the Northern Expedition Fleet. In addition, we dispatched the Sword-class battleships of the Strategic Fleet, and all the submarines of the Submarine Detachment. This time we must be careful We fought a decisive sea battle with the Japanese pirates, so that we can train our navy well. Only when our navy has experienced the test of fire and blood can it become a powerful navy. Otherwise, our navy will not be able to train at all come out."

This time, Wang Guorui showed all his cards. Not only did he dispatch all the sword-class battleships of the strategic fleet, but he was also able to dispatch the submarine force that had been researched and just completed. These troops are also trump cards in Wang Guorui's hands, and he hopes to be able to make a final decision. But now it must be taken out. If it is not taken out, the loss to the Japanese this time may really not be less. I have to admit that Taiwan's navy has only been in the army for a few years~lightnovelpub.net~ and most of the navy officers and soldiers are trained by themselves, and there is no perfect inheritance education system. The construction of the navy is much more difficult than that of the army, especially the training of the navy. Although the training was very good this time, the problem that was exposed before was that he had too little combat experience and had no ability to withstand pressure at all.

This time Taiwan was able to attack Japan's combined fleet with an absolutely powerful force. It was an unfair battle. Taiwan used more battleships and more advanced battleships to bully them. But Wang Guorui hopes to be able to do this, to train the abilities of his soldiers and the strength of his navy. Otherwise, the navy has a huge fleet and one of the best battleships in the world, but in the end they are all just puffy, and that would be a real trouble.

"Hopefully, this time we can build a powerful navy with fire and blood!" Wang Guorui thought. (To be continued.)
